PAUL RYAN, mitt romney's running mate, (and yes, you should know that), seems to be having as many communication problems as his boos. He got booed by the AARP in new orleans, and that's hard to do. The AARP likes most folks.
But don't mess with their medicare and social security. For the current crop of american seniors, these socialist programs are working quite well, as far as they're concerned, and these people feel like they have earned their benefits.
Ryan was criticizing obama for allegedly removing seventy five billion from medicare to help fund obamacare, and touting the conservative republican plan to privatize both programs. He had to know going in that with this crowd he was treading on thin ice.
Among the masses of working class people in industrialized countries throughout the world, socialism is popular. Unions, benefits, revenue sharing, cooperative health care, the whole ball of wax. There are simply far more working class people than owner - manager people, and they know they're better off working together than being on their own.
Conservatism is becoming more liberal through the years, and now conservatives no longer advocate eliminating medicare, medicaid, and social security, as they once did. All they want to do now is turn these socialist programs into capitalist programs.
Obama seems to feel confident enough in his reelection that he scolded congress for leaving town for a break, even though there is much work to do in washington. He should know. He's the expert.
Since the president spends more than half his time on the reelection campaign trail, giving speeches all over the country, attracting attention, he certainly should know a thing or two about leaving town with unfinished work. Of course, he can get work done on air force one. Congress people don't have this privilege. They only have online meetings.
